Researchers in Japan offer first proof that Ultraviolet C light with a 222 nm wavelength — which is safer to use around humans — effectively kills the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Other studies involving 222 nm UVC, also known as Far-UVC, have so far only looked at its potency in eradicating seasonal coronaviruses that are structurally similar to the SARS-CoV-2 but not on the COVID-19-causing virus itself.
At Vidal Medical Concierge of Juno Beach, FL, we continue to monitor the latest developments with regard to such new technologies. Yael Vidal MD is the lead physician of Vidal Concierge, and provides Concierge Medicine services to the residents of nearby Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and other areas.
